Just what I was looking for!

Sent from my toilet seat.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ckochinsky125:
Wait so what should I download if the first method before the update wouldnt get past step 1??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Then just download the whole archive, the one linked in megaupload or multiupload. Delete the old files and run the new rooter, you shouldn't have any problems so long as it's setup properly (adb can see your device, you have drivers if needed, you have usb debugging on etc etc etc)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ckochinsky125:
So i need adb for the updated version?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It comes with it, it comes with everything you need except the drivers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] millbean:
Checking in. No problems since I ran this a few days ago is there a need to install the update of the original version is running fine? Great work again and nice support
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Nope if the original worked for you then there's no need to use this. This is just for bugfixes and to make it a little more reliable. Glad yours worked fine the first time around and glad to help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Ok it's my day off I'm gonna try to root now. I'm not familiar with adb but here goes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
As long as you have the updated version you don't really need any familiarity with adb, that's the beauty of programs like this. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Should I run the " internet connection mode " drivers?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I...have no idea :/ might not hurt to run them before you try step 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Doesn't seem like it, thnks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
So how far away from TB are you?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oneders65:
How Long does it take?

Barring any glitches how long does the process take?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero Considering I have to buy it outright, probably about $500 -_-. I don't have a Verizon contract and their deposits are just insane in my area, at least for everyone I've talked to. I appreciate all the donations you guys have given me though, it's a lot more than I expected when I started this project.

@oneders from start to finish i'd say...maybe 45 minutes? I've never really timed the whole process but that seems about right.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ckochinsky125:
Step 1 goes good and then i click step 2 nothing happens? Am i doing something wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah, did you turn usb debugging back on and unplug/replug your phone before starting step 2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hermy65:
just grabbed the update, im running 1.12.605.6, at the end of step one it doesnt reboot into the bootloader. If i go into it manually it tells me that it failed because the main version is older...any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Never reboot manually. If it doesn't reboot on its own it didn't work. Reboot your phone, make sure all settings are correct and tell me if the program sees your phone as "device" and not "offline".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Please read through these instructions if you are having issues.

I'm not up fully yet just trying to get through last nights posts.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
Sorry if posted easewhere, step 1 getting message " Main version is older". Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
When did you download the files?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hermy65:
i grabbed mine like 30 minutes ago from the link on page 1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Don't do anything ... Does your phone say security warning on top? What vs did you have before you stArted this?

/\\/\\orlince
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
One Hour Ago...both rar and exe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rusty4k:
dbzfanatic I HAVE ROOT I thank you for all your help For everyone else dont give up I have been working on this since friday morning Thank you very much
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
Nope just saYS UPGRADE FAILED AFTER CHECKING THE FILE

Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.12.605.6_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_174685_signed
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Step 1 or step 2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hermy65:
my phone never reboots into the bootloader after step 1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
after step 1 after the file is copied to the device.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@hermy download the exe file from the OP,you might've somehow gotten an older version. Or could you tell me all the files in the folder where rooter is?

@jnelson so,is it during the step 1 flash? Im still half asleep. It's not "after" any step until you hit the button for the next step.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
Afgter step one, I reboot the phone and it try's to load the copied file with HBoot. After it verifies and chjecks the file, I get a message in red saying " Upgrade failed. Main version is older. Please reboot your phone."

I never get to step 2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright in the program did it ever say "flashing misc.img"?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Just checking I'm stuck at, pushing. hbooteng.nbo.... .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
no, says loading PG05IMG.zip

then Checking...PG05IMG.zip

then Main version is older

Update Fail!

Press <power> to reboot
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero what do you mean stuck? the dots aren't moving or...?

@jnelson no in the program not on the phone. did it say that before it rebooted?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hermy65:
dbz...think i might have fixed it...uninstalled htcsync, reinstalled it from the mirror posted then it worked fine. odd...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
I'll restart dots stuck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
no, rooter looked fine. it is only displayed after the reboot on step 1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I went through all the process already with the old no ADB File but when i got to step 3 which instruct me to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery in Rom Manager which I tried to do but i got a pop up in Rom Manager saying - i have to be rooted to use Rom Manager , i still went ahead and tried to do the ClockWorkMod Recovery but I got an error . Do i still have download the complete file and do everything all over again ? . What do mean by flashing the unroot image file ?.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero ok,yeah if the dots are stuck it froze for some reason.

@hermy ok yeah it is a lil wierd but htc sync does conflict with adb.

@jnelson its supposed to say it's flashing. If it didn't start step one over, try what hermey did and reinstall htc sync and do not install the program,just the drivers

@jawonder yeah you still have to download the complete file. The way things are handled has changed a bit so just using the exe and pressing step 3 won't work. You only need to redo steps 2 and 3 though. By flashing the unroot image file I mean there's an Unroot thread somewere here in the thunderbolt forums. Download it and flash it in hboot (put it on your sdcard,no foldes), THEN run but you don't need to, just go from step 2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
DBZ, I am one of the people that got myself running software version 1.03.605.10 somehow and it is really buggy. Ive been hearing a few people say I may not be able to do this now without bricking my phone.

Can I run the updated easy root and will it possibly work? Or am I basically screwed lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Lmao, dude you gotta slow down u sound like a parent with two sets of bratty twins.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero how so?

@corenojoe If you can try flashing the unroot file from the forums (search for it, I don't have a link). If that works download my updated files, all of them not just the exe, and start from step 1. If you can't flash the unroot I suggest trying to flash the debloated ROM through clockwork if it's installed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Just to clarify, the links on the first page are the newest version you made?

Thanks for all the work!

DTT
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
are the links not working now? I have tried to download a few times and it says unavailable. One time it downloaded the whole file and at 100% it said file might have been moved or deleted.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jnelson2000:
after the push in step 1, does it automatically reboot or do I need to manuially power off and get into hboot?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
I do not have clockwork, Ive seen others with the same issues im having. Basically we have superuser permissions and things like wireless tether and set cpu work, but clockwork says it flashes in ROM manager but will not actually boot up, if you hit reboot recovery in rommanager it just goes to the hboot screen.

I will look for the unroot files, how do you flash them
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@dtt255 yeah they're the newest versions

@jaskil they should be ok, probbaly just getting bombarded with downloads. try downloading again, use the main MU link.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbh00jh:
Did you try the mirrow ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Just trying to add a little humor, saw you replied 4 users at once and thought it was kinda funny, nevermind.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Ok so there's no need for me to flash the unroot image file just just do the download extract rooter exe and do step 2 and 3 ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@jawonder yeah that's right

@nero ah ok

@Everyone else. If you have ever tried my older methods flash the unroot image file (search the thunderbolt forums) then download my updated files. extract them somewhere using winrar, you can NOT run them from inside the archive. then run rooter and it will walk you through everything
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
main mu link says unavailable. Downloading from mu mirror now, that was the one that said moved or deleted when got to 100% before. Do I need to download the attatched zip file as well from the bottom of op?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
No that's just there for people who are 90% done with the older method. I'll check the links.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
HELP! heading into a brick!

ERROR! Contact someone at chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. DO NOT REBOOT
[Thunderbolt Android Development] taverentech:
EasyRoot not working - main version is older

When I go into the bootloader, after completing step #1 with no errors... it takes a while to check the zip file, then reports:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

I just bought my thunderbolt this week and its running 2.2.1, latest OTA (since it didn't find an OTA update for what I'm running).

I'm running build number: 1.12.605.6 CL338893 release-keys

Does this mean I need newer easyroot? or did something happen during step #1??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
My final test was with that vs before release so I know it works.

/\\/\\orlince
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@randy you have an older version, the update no longer says that. Please download the newer version rar file and use it instead.

@you need to use the updated files. did you see dots when pushing the files? if not you have the older version.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
OK< I downloaded from Holy's link around page 78 or so.

How do I get back. WIll this brick or no?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
Also, the tool has in it Contact someone at chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. They were less than helpful. They told me to leave at first.

Maybe you should take that out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Is the unroot method just flashing the stock RUU by puting it on the root of the sd card and flashing with hboot?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
thanks, saw that now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@randy never download from anything but the links on the front page, ever. if you didn't see a hash come up before that error (if it was at the top of the screen) you're ok and of course they weren't helpful, it says in the first post that they aren't affiliated with this

@corenojoe yeah basically.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
SO I am booted right now (afraid to reboot).

So do I download the page 1 version and start over? Get back to stack (unroot)? or what?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
ok what exactly is on your phone and what exactly is the output of my program? i need EXACT info
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
This really takes some time huh.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
if you mean the file push, yeah it takes a while :/ could take like 10 minutes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
Software Number (from settings)

1.03.605.10

Baseband Number

1.02.00.0103r

Rooter:

ERROR! Contact someone at chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. DO NOT REBOOT.Choose the bootloader option and press POWER. Allow the firmware to flash by pressing VOLUME UP. When finished please reboot into Android as you will have S-OFF.

Again, after rebooting turn USB Debugging back on and unplug your phone and plug it in again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
thank you so much for everything. You guys are amazing . I could not it done this without all those who supported me . Holograil S/O!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
is that at the TOP of the program? if so you're ok to leave your phone as-is and return to stock with the unrooter file.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] randyored:
WHew.

The thing just spontaniously rebooted. Came back up. thank god.

I will unroot.

Thanks dbz
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Don't wanna sound impatient but it's almost an hour and dots are still going, normal?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
uhmm..no it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. what step you on? 2? also can you copy/paste the output of the program here please? if not 's cool,sometimes it won't let you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
step 2 ,wont let me copy dots still goin though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Thanks BDZ , at work now coming off 3pm can't wait to get home to try it . Gonna make sure i delete the old file before downloading the new one .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright just kill it in task manager,don't do anything on your phone,and start the program and run step 2 again. that means adb glitched up, not something i can really control :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Aerogriff:
Works perfectly...after I realized I didn't have the drivers installed. Ha.

Thanks for this, very helpful and convenient.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Glad it worked :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
BDZ (OP) just a quick question :- The process at step 3 is it shortest ? , because i notice yesterday when i was doing step 3 with old file all it said was getting su permission and then ask me to Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery in Rom Manager is this correct ?.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah with the updated version step 3 should take less than 3 seconds and your phone should auto-reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
ok restared rooter its reading devices ...pushing files but pc says windows cannot find temp rooter zip\adb.exe make sure you typed .......
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
you're running from inside the archive aren't you....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Okay, i'm gonna be here for a bit now, my wife is leaving on a trip and i have been helping her get ready. So hows it going any serious issues?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Pushing pgo5img.zip
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did you restart or is it pushing for some reason now? You also didn't tell me if you extracted or not.

Edit: for those of you that need it here's the unrooter http://www.filefactory.com/file/cac..._NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_174685_signed.zip I got it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975888
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
No restart but it's stuck on PGO5IMG. zip .I downloaded rooter and there was no option to extract only open
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
DBZ do i have to rename the unroot file to pmg** before i can flash it in hboot?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Ok thanks !
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero then you're using the wrong program, use winrar to extract

@corenojoe yeah and it's PG05IMG.zip you have to get it exact

@jawonder you're welcome.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Ok thanks, will do it as soon as the file downloads. Crappy internet lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Ahhhh .dots going again......................
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
I have provided a torrent for the file. Its located at Link removed at request of DEV.

Also, @DBZFANATIC, maybe you should update the original post to include A link for HTC SYNC install file. And post that it needs to be installed before doing this.

Been watching this thread since you released the update and its apparent that is something you have to do before this will work. Might cut down on a lot of the NOT WORKING posts.

Also When you do release a new version I would recommend starting a new TOPIC for it as this one is quite long, and confusing since it includes posts from the original release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I fully intend to start a new topic when I release a two-step or one-click version. People were getting impatient though so I decided to release what I have that I know works. It does say in the first post to install the htc sync drivers but I do not provide a link as I don't know the location to download it from (no thunderbolt so I never needed to learn). I would also request that next time before creating a torrent you ask first as you never know how close I am to an update release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay, so I downloaded the program, but there is nothing to extract.. Do I just run it once debugging and htc sync is enabled and then it'll run? Whenever I click it, it says select which program you want to run it with. Maybe I'm just that much of a noob lol...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
I have posted a mirror to the htc sync installation multiple times.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca4e6e5/n/setup_3.0.5511.exe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
DBZ, I released the torrent based on your original post that indicated a torrent would be OK once this updated version was released.

If you would like me to take it down I will.

Link for HTC Sync is here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/thunderbolt-verizon/downloads/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Download a program called 7zip, just search 7zip download on google. When it's installed right click on the .rar file that you downloaded go down to 7zip and then slide over to open archive... then at the top left of the program there is an extract button. Extract them all the a folder on your desktop.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@morlince sorry,brainfart. I'll add it thanks, also as for 7zip, from some feedback I've had from other users i would not recommend it. I recommend winRAR as it's what I use, adds an extract option in context menus, and doesn't try to extract archives that are in other archives.

@cnmsales it's fine it's just next time ask please. I know I said it was fine but it never hurts to double check you know?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Its all good man, just trying to provide this to as many folks as possible to get it as quickly as possible.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Nah think I'm gonna hold off until there's updated method. Im getting Error contact dbzfanatic at ........
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero just saw your post, did you extract? Also what's the hash?

@cn I understand but I've already had one guy try to pass this off as his so I'm being a bit more careful than usual
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
I believe I extracted everything.. first program I run is rooter?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
I understand completely. Did you look at the link? Gave you all props and linked back to this thread.

Also if there is anything else you would like me to put in the post let me know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@andrew Considering that's the only program in there yes, run rooter.

@cn its fine then, just keep in mind the random update schedule, even I don't know when updates will come out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] em2drvr03:
Hey im getting the main version higher error and im not sure what to do...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Does it say "flashing misc.img" in the program?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
lol, I've got like 7... haha. But thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
I want this to happen so I restarted rooter, will let u know how it goes db. Pushing PGO5IMG.zip ..... ............
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Im getting choose bootloader option. But no options on TB
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
nero give it time, mine was like that as well. if it says no img or wrong img dont worry let it keep doing what its doing. Thought it was an error but still updated everything itself, if look on page 70 or so there is a PDF someone wrote up, follow that pdf and your good to go. i ran the rooter.exe with 0 errors.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Also, I dont think I ever deleted the IMG file. Were is this located so I can check to make sure its not there?

@DBZ - Im keeping a close eye on the thread and the Torrent will be updated and deleted as soon as the new release comes out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
It pushed the files, but how do I choose the bootloader option?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Orio56:
Quick question...

Once I am rooted, is there a method to unroot? Is there an SBK file ? Can you run SBF?

Thanks :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Paris_Carter:
Quik Question

First thanx to all of you for making it a shorter (in a sense) process.

I finished and it said congratulations and you have a rooted TH but when I try to install Titanium backup it says that its unable to gain root access and yes when I go into bootloader it says s-off & all that jazz LoL

Thanx n advance and please dnt b that harsh:cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Really? like a while after it pushed the files to get into the bootloader? Does it automatically reboot into it? or do I have to do something?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
I got all the current files. Ran smooth until step three. Will not auto-reboot. Ran step 3 a few times, still no reboot. I have rom manager and su, flashed clockwork recovery, when I try to fix permissions I get an error saying trying to run privelaged commands. Any Ideas
